I'm not old, but I began realizing more and more over the last couple of years that if I want my dreams and goals to come to fruition, if I want my purpose to manifest itself to its fullest potential, I have to act on it every day.

That's why I'm constantly working on this blog, writing books, improving my course material, and making CFF bigger and better every day.

Time stops for no one.

Start Now

You can't spend time being afraid of how long it might take to get there or what it's going to look like, or what others are going to think. I know it's hard. I battled all of those feelings when I first started down this path of personal finance teaching, writing, and blogging. When you just start, it gets easier.

Just start taking that first step, then the another. When you start doing that, a funny thing happens, the path actually becomes more evident with each step you take.

Just start.

When I started this blog in 2011, I had no idea what I was doing. But I had recently realized that expanding the reach of my Christian personal finance course and my core message was not going to happen on its own. Since that time I've written over 200 articles, appeared on some of the top personal finance sites, published a book, spread my footprint through social media, and now have my course available in an online version.

All that because I decided it was time to stop playing around with what I feel called to do. It will continue getting bigger and better from here.

Dream Not Clear Yet?

If you already know what your dream is and what you're supposed to be doing in life, that's a great thing! You are way ahead of most people.

But if you just don't know or you're not clear about it yet, don't worry, you can still take action toward your dreams even if you don't quite know what they are yet.

Second, Even if you don't have a clue what it is yet, pursue your purpose passionately. No, it's not impossible. Think back to your childhood. What are the things you did that made you the happiest? What did your teachers, friends, and parents say you were good at? Maybe it was writing… or dancing, building things, telling stories, being helpful or friendly.

This is where you start.

Explore Your Dreams

Explore those things that excited you and made you feel good about yourself when you were a child or even a teenager. You may not immediately find your right path in these things right off the bat, but keep on that path of discovery, stay close to God in prayer, and He will certainly lead you in the right direction.

Remember, God wants the best for you, He wants you to be happy, fulfilled, and achieving your dreams while working within the purpose for which He place you on this Earth.

He gave you a special combination of talents and abilities, strengths and weaknesses that only you have. A combination that can change the world once you get them working within your purpose.
